Securing success for the Nature Restoration Law

Detalles

In a bid to halt and reverse biodiversity losses, the European Commission has proposed a new regulation, the Nature Restoration Act (LRN). It could become a cornerstone of Europe's ambitions to restore biodiversity and ecosystem services in the coming decades and demonstrate global leadership in addressing ongoing environmental crises. The bill, which is the first globally, has come under political pressure from a number of sides, and scientists have contributed intensively to the discussion. After trilogue negotiations between the European Parliament, the Council of Europe and the European Commission, the final text of the LRN was agreed. However, it will still be subject to final votes in the Council and Parliament. This article assesses the potential of the LRN to overcome the problems associated with the implementation of European Union (EU) legislation, strategies and related policies and what can be learned for the implementation of the LRN.
